Almost A Week in Prague - Part 4

Day 4!! Please check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the series if you haven't yet.

This day was the day we checked out of the hotel in the boonies and moved to Ibis Praha Wencelas Square.  We took the tram from one hotel to the other. Located right next to the Novotel Praha Wencelas Square, it is about 5 minutes walk from the National Museum. Mind you, the walk to the museum is downhill so it takes so much more energy to walk back. :D

For lunch we stopped at a pub called Plzeňská restaurace U Gráffů. We ordered Garlic Soup, Pork Tray, and Beer Cheese. Food was just okay. The Beer Cheese was veeeery stinky! The smell reminded me of rotten anchovies.

Since DH had been mostly working since we arrived, we walked around the Wencelas Square and I finally have some pictures with ME in it! ;)

I mentioned before that we had bought tickets to the Don Quixote Ballet at the State Opera Building. Since most people didn't dress up too fancy at the Magic Flute, we decided to dress more casual for the Ballet. Well, it turned out that the State Opera building is a nicer, bigger building and people who went to see the ballet dressed up fancier. Oh well.....

The State Opera building was quite amazing. The lobby was impressive and the inside was even more so.




Cheers!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
